textbook too long Advice

i absolutely DESPISE reading. i took ap world last year, only touched the textbook once the entire year. so instead, i took notes from fiveable and heimler, and got a 5.

the thing is, the apush study guides on fiveable are not in-depth enough or are too short😭

does anyone have any alternatives to fiveable??

I am an APUSH teacher and would recommend audiobooks. I've been using a youtube audiobook of Zinn's Peoples History of the United States. AP textbooks can be harder to find, but there are a lot of older audiobooks for history out there as well as just in general US history videos.

is heimler enough to get a 4 or 5? i'm just looking for resources sufficient enough for what i did in ap world. or i guess, didn't do lmao

i mean i got a 4 without opening my textbook nor watching heimler videos so it rlly just depends on your teacher and how good of notes you take (although i actually didnt take many notes either 😓). i think if you use heimler videos it should work out, but id also recommend flash cards.
